Saints have announced earlier today that they have sealed a five year Nathan
Redmond deal for a fee around £11million.

Southampton
are well aware of Liverpool links with their forward Sadio Mane who is expected
to leave the club in the next few weeks.

Reds have been in strong link with Mane over the past few days and it was reportedly
revealed that the deal has been agreed between the club and the player.

Redmond
has been signed as Mane’s replacement, as per several sources.

Mirror
reported two weeks ago that the Saints are keeping close tabs on the Norwich
man and were waiting for his return from vacations.

Redmond
who netted six goals in league last season failed to survive in the Premier League.

Norwich were keen to keep their star man but it was well aware that the
22-year-old will leave the club for Premier League football.Stoke
City were also in the race and their goalkeeper Jack Butland was convincing his
long term friend to join at the Britannia Stadium. However, Redmond decided to join
the Saints. He will be joining the club next month in a preseason tour.
